Definitions
- Arrangement in particular a pacemaker, for recording a measurement parameter of cardiac activity
- the invention relates to an arrangement, in particular a cardiac pacemaker, with a measuring device for recording a measurement parameter of cardiac activity.
- EP-A-O 140 472 suggests regulating the stimulation frequency as a function of changes in the heart beat volume, these changes being determined with the aid of the impedance measurement.
- the publication contains no indication of how the stroke volume can be quantified with the aid of the measured values obtained from the impedance signal. Furthermore, it is not specified how the individual differences in proportionality between the value of the measured impedance signal and the degree of loading can be compensated for.
- DE-A-35 33 597 describes a method in which the stimulation frequency is related to the stroke volume
- REPLACEMENT LEAF proportional measured variable is regulated.
- the control characteristic of the stimulation frequency as a function of the stroke volume is determined independently by setting the frequency at maximum load so that the product of frequency and stroke volume becomes a maximum.
- the disadvantage of this method is that the maximum load state must be detected by a second measurement parameter or entered externally and that no indication is given as to how the susceptibility to interference of the impedance signal is compensated for, so that the method of this type has not found any practical application either.
- the invention is based on the object, primarily in connection with cardiac pacemakers, of measuring measurement parameters of cardiac activity in such a way that they are freed from interference signals, and thus can be used for evaluating the physiological functions of the cardiac muscle, in particular for determining changes in cardiac output.
- a method of active noise blanking is used to suppress the influence of drift, sensitivity change, linearity change and multiple sensitivity. In principle, this involves filtering out the non-specific signal components in the subsequent demodulation by targeted modulation of only the phenomenon to be examined, for example according to temporal criteria.
- the pacemaker principle offers the best prerequisites for this, since all measurement parameters of cardiac activity depend on the frequency of the heart and can thus be specifically modulated with the stimulation pulse.
- REPLACEMENT LEAF uses this fact in such a way that the signal curve of a measurement parameter M during a heart pulse n + 1 is analyzed depending on the frequency f or duration t s of the previous heart pulse n and that when f changes by ⁇ f or s by ⁇ t s the measured value change M between the measured values M (n) and M (n + 1) is evaluated depending on the degree of the frequency change ⁇ f or ⁇ t s between the two pulses, with measured value changes AM in the case of stimulation being caused by targeted Changes in the stimulation frequency f were caused to be analyzed.
- the physiological fact that changes in the pulse frequency can influence the diastolic filling phase of this heart pulse n and thereby the course of the systolic expulsion phase during the next pulse n + 1 .
- REPLACEMENT BLADE can and / or the stimulation frequency can be optimized hemodynamically and / or tachycardia detection can be carried out.
- FIG. 1 shows the course of the electrocardiogram and the associated course of the ventricular volume in the event of a frequency change
- FIG. 2 shows the block diagram of a pacemaker, in which a load-dependent measurement parameter is detected with the aid of the frequency change and is used for frequency control of the pacemaker
- FIG. 3 in a diagram the course of the stroke volume of a normal heart as a function of the heartbeat frequency at different stress levels
- FIG. 4 the block diagram of a pacemaker with hemodynamic optimization of the stimulation frequency
- FIG. 5 shows the block diagram of a pacemaker with means for recognizing tachycardia states of the heart
- FIG. 1 shows in the upper part the signal course of an electrocardiogram EKG over two successive cardiac cycles n and n + 1 and below the associated course of the volume V of the two ventricles of a heart.
- the course of the ventricular volume V is shown here in a simplified manner by exponential curve sections.
- REPLACEMENT LEAF Relax the ventricle and then refill with exponential enlargement of the ventricle volume V.
- the measurement volume-dependent measurement parameter here the impedance signal
- the measurement parameter is evaluated as a function of the change in the duration of successive cardiac cycles n and n + 1, as will be shown below.
- the duration of the cardiac cycle n + 1 is lengthened by t s compared to the previous cycle n, so that the diastolic phase of the second cardiac cycle n + 1 is lengthened by the same amount ⁇ t s if the duration of the systole remains unchanged. If the patient's load remains unchanged, the stroke volume SV n + 1 of the second cardiac cycle is n + 1
- ⁇ SV ( + ) SV n + 1 - SV n - SV roa ⁇ exp - ( ⁇ t so / T). (1 - exp - ( ⁇ t s / T)). If the cardiac cycle duration is reduced, that is to say a change in the distance between two heartbeats by - ⁇ t s , the change ⁇ SV (-) in the stroke volume SV results accordingly:
- FIG. 2 shows the block diagram of a cardiac pacemaker, in which the above-described acquisition of a load-dependent measurement parameter is used to control the stimulation frequency.
- the pacemaker contains a stimulation pulse generator 1, which is connected at an output connection 2 via a controllable switch 3 and an electrode line 4 to an electrode 6 placed in the heart 5 of the patient.
- the second output connection 7 of the stimulation pulse generator 1 is connected to the housing of the pacemaker, which is not shown here and which serves as a reference electrode.
- the stimulus is not shown here and which serves as a reference electrode.
- REPLACEMENT LEAF Lationsimpulsgenerator 1 is connected via a control line 8 to a pacemaker control 9, which causes the stimulation pulse generator 1 to emit stimulation pulses via the control line 8.
- a heartbeat detector 10 is connected for the detection of stimulated or natural heartbeats between the electrode 6 and the cardiac pacemaker housing with a first input connection 11 at the output connection 2 of the stimulation pulse generator 1 and with a second input connection 12 at the pacemaker housing? On the output side, the beat detector 10 is connected to the pacemaker control 9 via a signal line 13.
- the electrode line 4 is connected via a further controllable switch 14 to the first input connection 15 of a measuring parameter pickup 16 which, in the exemplary embodiment shown, detects the tissue impedance between the electrode 6 and the pacemaker housing, to which the second input connection 17 of the Measuring parameter pickup 16 is connected.
- the measurement parameter pickup 16 is connected to the heartbeat detector 10 via a control line 18 and to the pacemaker control 9 via an output signal line 19.
- the controllable switches 3 and 14 serve to decouple the stimulation pulse generator 1 and heartbeat detector 10 on the one hand and the measurement parameter pickup 16 on the other hand, so that these cannot influence each other.
- does the impedance measurement take place between the electrode 6 and the pacemaker housing ? however, a multi-electrode system is also conceivable, in which different electrodes are provided for the stimulation, heartbeat detection and impedance measurement.
- the pacemaker shown works as follows.
- the pacemaker control 9 outputs a specific frequency f, for example programmable from the outside with which the stimulation pulse generator 1 is caused to deliver stimulation pulses to the heart 5.
- the heartbeat detector 10 With the heartbeat detector 10, both natural and stimulated heartbeats are detected. With each detected heartbeat, a time interval of duration t g is started in the pacemaker control 9, after the complete expiration of which a stimulation pulse is initiated and the time interval is restarted. If a natural heartbeat is detected before this time interval has elapsed, the time interval is restarted without generating a stimulation pulse.
- the distance between two successive stimulation pulses is alternately changed in the cardiac pacemaker control 9 by the amount + ⁇ t s and the amount - ⁇ t g .
- These isolated changes each lead to an immediate reaction of the stroke volume SV due to the change in the diastolic filling phase, while the general pressure in the circulatory system does not change and the mean cardiac output remains unchanged.
- the changes lSV (+) and ⁇ SV (-) of the stroke volume correspond to changes ⁇ ( ⁇ Z (+)) and A ( ⁇ Z (-)) of the impedance fluctuations ⁇ Z.
- the detection of the impedance by means of the measurement parameter pickup 16 is synchronized with the detected heartbeats via the control line 18.
- the actual value for the load determined in this way is compared in the pacemaker control 9 with a target value, which can either be specified as a constant value by an external programming unit (not shown here) or which is a value dependent on the frequency f can act.
- the frequency f with which the pacemaker controller 9 causes the stimulation pulse generator 1 to emit stimulation pulses is controlled on the basis of the target / actual value comparison.
- the body's own circulatory system regulates the cardiac output in relation to the physical and psychological strain on the patient.
- the peripheral flow resistance R reacts largely autonomously to the load, for example when a muscle is activated, its blood vessels dilate and thus reduce the peripheral flow resistance R.
- the resulting short-term pressure drop is recorded by the corresponding receptors of the central nervous system and converted into a signal to the heart muscle to increase the cardiac output HZV via the stroke volume SV and the heartbeat frequency f.
- REPLACEMENT LEAF then settles on average to a value proportional to the load.
- FIG. 3 shows in a diagram for a normal heart the course of the stroke volume SV as a function of the heartbeat frequency f at different stress levels P.
- the lines of constant cardiac output HZV are shown in broken lines.
- the area in which the change in the frequency f results in virtually no change in the cardiac output HZV is hatched in the diagram.
- the large individual fluctuation range of the cardiac conduction capacity makes it necessary for pacemaker patients to optimize the adaptation of the stimulation frequency to the stress situation in such a way that the cardiac output HZV adapts proportionally to the load and an increase in frequency does not lead to a decrease in the cardiac output HZV leads.
- ⁇ SV / SV ⁇ f / (f + ⁇ f).
- FIG. 1 shows, shortening the pulse interval t s by the amount .DELTA.t in such a way that in the second cardiac cycle n + l the stroke volume SV becomes zero. Then for the change ⁇ SV Q of the stroke volume SV:
- FIG. 4 shows the block diagram of a pacemaker in which the hemodynamic frequency optimization described above is used? the same function blocks as in FIG. 2 provided with the same reference numerals.
- the pacemaker contains a stimulation pulse generator 1, which is connected to a first output connection 2 via a controllable switch 3 and a first electrode line 4 is connected to a distal tip electrode 6 placed in the heart 5 of the patient.
- the second output connection 7 of the stimulation pulse generator 1 is connected to the housing of the cardiac pacemaker, not shown here.
- the stimulation pulse generator 1 is connected via a control line 8 to a frequency control unit 20, which is part of a cardiac pacemaker control 9 and controls the stimulation pulse generator 1 to emit stimulation pulses with a predetermined frequency.
- the frequency can be controlled as a function of the output signal of a sensor 21 which detects the load condition of the patient, the output signal of which is fed to the frequency control unit 20 via a signal evaluation device 22.
- a heartbeat detector 10 with a first input connection 11 is connected to the output connection 2 of the stimulation pulse generator 1 and with a second input connection 12 to the pacemaker housing.
- the heartbeat detector 10 is connected via a signal line 13 to a difference and quotient generator 23 in the pacemaker control 9.
- a measuring parameter pickup 16 is connected at its first input connection 15 via a further controllable switch 14 and the electrode line 4 to the tip electrode 6 and at its second input connection 17 via a second electrode line 24 to a ring electrode 25 spaced from the first electrode 6.
- the measurement parameter pickup 16 serves to detect the impedance between the two electrodes 6 and 25.
- the measurement parameter pickup 16 is also connected to the heartbeat detector 10 via a control line 18 and to a signal treatment stage 26 of the pacemaker control 9 via an output signal line 19.
- the difference and quotient generator 23 and the signal treatment stage 26 are connected on the output side to a difference comparator 27 connected, the output signal of which is fed to a control stage 28 controlling the frequency control unit 20.
- the frequency control unit 20 causes the stimulation pulse generator 1 to emit stimulation pulses with a frequency which is dependent on the load condition of the patient detected by the sensor. The distance between two successive stimulation pulses is reduced once by the amount ⁇ t s at intervals of a few seconds. With each such frequency change, the impedance in the heart 5 between the electrodes 6 and 25 is detected in the measurement parameter pickup 16 in synchronism with the heartbeats detected by the heartbeat detector 10, and in the signal treatment stage 26 the difference 1 ( ⁇ Z) between the impedance fluctuations ⁇ Z n at which the Change preceding cardiac cycle n and the impedance fluctuations n + 1 in the cardiac cycle n + 1 formed with the changed duration.
- the process of the one-time pulse interval reduction is repeated every few seconds with an ever greater shortening ⁇ ⁇ t s and in the signal processing stage 26 the new value for ⁇ ( ⁇ Z) is compared with the previously determined value? If the newly determined value is greater than the previous value, the process of reducing the pulse spacing is continued until the newly determined value for A ( ⁇ Z) is smaller by a predetermined amount than the previously determined value. Then the previously determined value for ⁇ ( ⁇ 2>) is defined as (4Z Q ) and stored.
- the frequency control unit 20 changes the stimulation frequency f over longer time intervals (minutes), because either the sensor 21 detects a change in load or because the frequency control unit 20 automatically carries out a frequency optimization, the resulting new value of ⁇ ( ⁇ Z 0 ) m + , in the signal treatment stage 26 with the value ⁇ C ⁇ Z Q ) ⁇ last determined before the longer-term frequency change f and the difference ⁇ ( ⁇ (£ Z 0 )) between the two values formed? the quotient ⁇ (( ⁇ 0 )) /.! ( ⁇ Z 0 ) m is then formed, which corresponds to the relative change ⁇ sv / SV in the stroke volume SV due to the frequency change ⁇ f.
- the quotient ⁇ f / (f + ⁇ f) is formed in the difference and quotient generator 23 based on the temporal occurrence of the detected heartbeats.
- the frequency control unit 20 is controlled via the control stage 28 in such a way that frequency changes .DELTA.f, which cause the cardiac output HZV to deteriorate under constant load, are reversed.
- the effectiveness of the heart muscle can be evaluated in principle by recording the stroke volume SV and, particularly at high frequencies f, it can be determined whether the heart muscle's pulse actions are ineffective, ie tachycardic.
- the analysis of measurement volume-dependent measurement parameters with the aid of short frequency changes by changing the pulse spacing of successive stimulation pulses enables the detection of such tachycardic states.
- the heartbeat frequency detected with the aid of a heartbeat detector is increased by brief frequency increases ⁇ f lr ⁇ £ 2 . , , ie short reductions ⁇ t sl , ⁇ t s2 , ... of the distance t g of successive stimulation pulses, modulated and evaluated by difference and quotient formation, whether and how strongly the
- FIG. 5 shows a corresponding exemplary embodiment for tachycardia detection in a cardiac pacemaker, whereby in comparison to the one shown in FIG. 4 shown pacemaker there are only differences in the structure of the pacemaker control s.
- the changes ⁇ ( ⁇ Z) in the impedance fluctuations ⁇ Z, which have occurred due to changes At s in the stimulation pulse interval t s with two successive cardiac cycles n and n + l, are recorded in the evaluation circuit 29 downstream of the measurement parameter pickup 16, and are formed by forming quotients as well as in the exemplary embodiment according to FIG. 2, the size subject to interference SV ma ⁇ elimi ⁇ ned.
- the values determined in this way are stored in a memory 30 in association with the heartbeat frequency f detected by the heartbeat detector 10.
- the values stored in this way are compared in a further evaluation stage 31 for the detection of a tachycardia with predetermined, programmable values or with a value pattern previously created by the pacemaker.
- a functional unit 32 for controlling the frequency control unit 20 is activated in the sense of ending the tachycardia.
